As Ghanaians grapple with news of high-profile arrests by the U.S. FBI over alleged fraud, a group of wealthy partygoers in Accra sent a bold—and controversial—message to the federal agency.
A viral video from June 22, 2025, shows an upscale Accra nightclub where a group of revelers, known locally as "ballers," made a spectacle of their lavish spending—and their disregard for the FBI’s recent crackdown.
In the clip, before their premium bottles were served, a waiter marched through the crowd holding a sign that read, "F the FBI."* The video, captioned “Ballers fully active,” spread rapidly online, drawing attention not just for its opulence but for its brazen taunt aimed at U.S. authorities.
The stunt’s timing—amid ongoing FBI investigations and arrests in Ghana—sparked fierce backlash on social media. Many criticized the display as reckless, warning that those mocking the situation could soon face consequences themselves.
"Absolute foolishness… until they come for you next," one user wrote.
"It’s all fun and games until the handcuffs click," another commented.
A third added, "FBI, hire us to help clean up Ghana’s image—we’ll gladly expose these guys."
The incident follows reports in May and June 2025 that the FBI had conducted undercover operations in Accra, leading to the arrests of several prominent figures, including businessmen Nana Kojo Boateng (Dada Joe Remix) and Isaac Kofi Oduro Boateng (Kofi Boat).
Sources say the suspects had been under U.S. investigation for alleged involvement in romance scams, money laundering, and other financial crimes. Extradition efforts are now reportedly underway to bring them to trial in the United States.
The nightclub display has further fueled debates about accountability, wealth, and the growing scrutiny of Ghana’s elite in international fraud cases.
